An interview for a job is all about putting your best foot forward. Out here, land of the formal jeans, a suit is nearly unheard of, let alone worn. Most people only own the suit for formal business meetings and to pull apart. I tend to wear mine as a suit more often than not, mostly because I get cold really easily and tend to keep a black blazer handy for that.
At any rate, for an interview, even if it's not one you where hafta wear a suit, is about looking good and sounding like you already have the job. Jeans are out. I don't care if they're your formal jeans, don't wear 'em to the interview. Low cut, skin tight, or revealing are all kinds of out, unless you're applying for a job with the local gentleman's club. Polish those shoes. Iron EVERYTHING (ok, maybe not the bra and underwear. Understated jewelry, if you wear it: leave the huge, intricate bib necklace at home. Cover that decolletage, all of it. Make sure your suit isn't still vent stitched. While most website advocate white, a colored (as in, one solid, contrasting but not neon, color, leave the paisley at home) will stick in their memory. If it has belt loops, wear a good, simple leather belt, whether you need it or not. Run a lint roller over it. Do that twice. While a black suit is good, any dark colored, matching suit will work (well, maybe not brown.)
